I love all the themes done by Hans Zimmer, Harry Gregson-Williams and others. What are some your favorites?

I'm doing some soundtrack mixes. Hope to get some good suggestions. Thanks!

Most if not all of Angelo Badalameti's creations....

City of Lost Children (1995?)
A very long engagement (2004?)

Also, lets not forget, most of Ennio Morricone's works....
especially from the 1970s.... in vinyl, better, much better.

The soundtrack from Quentin Tarantino's "From Dusk Till Dawn" is great.
